British Elections: The ConDem-ned Government
Britain has been 'Con Dem-ned' to a future of savage attacks on public services, pay, pensions and benefits combined with tax increases for working and middle-class people. The Tory/Liberal coalition has been cobbled together in a desperate attempt to create a government strong enough to launch an all-out onslaught on the living standards of the working class.Two thirds of the new cabinet went to public school. This is a government of the elite, for the elite, and it is going to set out to hammer the rest of us. Mervyn King, unelected governor of the Bank of England, spoke on behalf of the majority of Britain's capitalist class when he welcomed the government's cuts plans and egged it on to go further in its emergency budget.

It should not be forgotten that it was Gordon Brown, in 1997, who first gave the Bank of England independence from the government, freeing it to campaign blatantly on behalf of the capitalist class.
However, Cameron and Clegg do not need egging on. The £6 billion worth of cuts that has been declared is the tip of an enormous iceberg. It is not certain how quickly the rest of the iceberg will be revealed but there is no doubt that it will be.
The cuts that will be announced in the emergency budget will only be the beginning. According to the Financial Times (13 May 2010):
"Mr Osborne will have to announce public spending cuts of £57 billion a year from a non-protected budget of about £260 billion – cuts of about 22%. It goes without saying that this will prove a sharp test of political will… Britain's public sector will face similar austerity measures to those seen in Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain."
It will and, like in those countries, we will see mass movements of the working class in opposition to the cuts.
Such movements can force even strong governments to retreat. In Britain the profound weakness and division of this 'government of losers' will be revealed.
Almost seven million people voted Liberal Democrat. The vast majority did so believing that the Liberal Democrats were a radical, anti-Tory party. Now their illusions have been brutally shattered as the Liberal Democrats have gaily burned their election manifesto in return for a taste of power.
The only establishment party that made a claim to be against the war in Afghanistan, the Liberal Democrats' negotiators have accepted the continuation of the occupation without a moment's hesitation.
They signed up just as eagerly for the Tories' plans to slash public spending. The Tories, determined to make sure that the coalition partner takes its share of the blame have surrounded the chancellor, George Osborne, with a Liberal Democrat guard of axemen.
Vince Cable has become business secretary. David Laws, a millionaire and ex-managing director of JP Morgan, has taken on the job of chief secretary of the treasury, a job which the Tory, Philip Hammond, who held the shadow post, predicted would result in its occupant's face being stuck on dartboards in workplaces up and down the country.
Thatcherism
The Liberal Democrats have also taken on the job of Scottish secretary. The memories of Thatcherism run so deep in Scotland that the Tories remain virtually unelectable – with only one seat! The Lib Dems currently have seven but, by tying their wagon to the Tories, they too will now face oblivion in Scotland.
Millions of Lib Dem voters, and many – perhaps even a majority – of the party's activists will abandon the Liberal Democrats because of what they see as a terrible betrayal.
At parliamentary level, however, it seems for now that the coalition has been reluctantly accepted even by more radical Liberal Democrat MPs.
This is only possible because the Liberal Democrats – although always a capitalist party – have suffered their own equivalent to Blairism.
Clegg and his allies around the 'Orange Book' successfully fought to move the party to the right on a whole number of issues; particularly on economic questions.
So much in common
The result is a situation where the Tory negotiators can describe, probably genuinely, their happiness in discovering they had so much in common with their Lib Dem counterparts – both 'socially liberal and economically conservative', as William Hague put it.
Cameron and co were forced into this coalition by their failure to win a majority. But now it exists they are trying to use it for their own ends, including leaning on the Liberal Democrats against the Tories' own ultra-conservative wing.
The leadership of the Tories has been prepared to contemplate allowing the possibility of joining the rest of the world and allowing a referendum on moving the voting system away from 'first past the post', in order to attempt to create a stable government together with the Liberal Democrats.
The Tories have also been prepared to promise fixed-term parliaments and, in an anti-democratic measure which has an element of parliamentary bonapartism, to promise that the support of 55% of MPs will be required in order to dissolve parliament.
Even if this measure makes it onto the statute books, which is far from certain, it will not be workable in reality.
If 51% of MPs vote to dissolve parliament no government is going to be able to refuse to call a general election on the grounds that 55% is required constitutionally!
Despite all the efforts of Clegg and Cameron to create a stable government, this weak and rickety coalition is likely to shatter under the pressure of events at a certain point, probably in response to mass movements of the working class.
Radical Lib Dem MPs may be reluctantly acquiescing to the situation now, but the pressure on them will be enormous when their ministers are proposing 22% cuts in public spending.
The Lib Dems won many young people's votes by claiming that they would abolish university tuition fees – although, in reality, Clegg had already used the economic crisis as an excuse to postpone this pledge into the distant future.
Now Lib Dem MPs are likely to be sitting on their hands while their government lifts the cap on tuition fees and slaughters university spending.
Combined with growing mass youth unemployment – already the highest in twenty years – this will lead to an explosive situation amongst young people in Britain.
Youth Fight for Jobs will have a crucial role to play in organising that anger, including by initiating school student and student strikes.
The measures planned by the government are very likely, as we have warned, to lead to a 'double-dip' recession.
As David Blanchflower, ex-member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, put it on 12 May:
"Anybody who is going to start cutting in [the current economic position] is basically going to push us into that death spiral. That's what we've avoided until this date. We need to be stimulating growth, not withdrawing multiple billions out of the system."
This is accurate, but it is not preventing the representatives of capitalism worldwide bowing to the will of the market – that is to the views of a handful of billionaire gamblers – and demanding speedy cuts in public spending.
In Spain the prime minister, Zapatero, has announced a new 'surprise' cut of 5% in civil service pay after he received a phone call from Obama pleading with him to take "resolute action".
The Spanish working class has given a 'resolute response' by calling a public sector general strike.
We are at the beginning, Europe-wide, of what will be the mother of all battles to defend workers from the onslaught of capital.
Twenty years ago in Britain our party, (then the Militant) led the 18 million-strong movement that brought down Thatcher – the Iron Lady – and her hated poll tax.
Clegg and Cameron are more like Chihuahuas (as Boris Johnson suggested) than iron men, but we are going to need a similar movement to defeat them and their cuts.
With the poll tax, even without the intervention of organised socialists, there would have been a mass outpouring of rage against the iniquity of the tax.
Our role was to channel the anger into an organised movement.
The scale of the cuts coming in Britain means we will face the same situation, but more so. It is true that the political understanding of the working class has not yet caught up with the changed economic situation, and that the confusion that exists can be prolonged by the lack of a mass workers' party.
But, despite these complications, the working class will be forced to fight back to defend itself and over time will draw political conclusions out of its experience in those struggles.
Nonetheless, socialists have a vital task in campaigning for a programme that will take the movement forward at each stage.
There is no doubt that the right-wing trade union leaders will want to try to compromise with the government – accepting some cuts to try to prevent others.
But only a militant, determined struggle against all cuts will be successful.
The first step needs to be a campaign for a massive national trade union led demonstration against all cuts in public services.
This needs to be linked to the development of local anti-cuts committees to bring together the different campaigns in preparation for the mass movement that will be necessary.
In Britain, as in other countries, the need for general strike action, probably initially across the public sector, will be posed at a certain stage.
This needs to be linked to arguing the case for a socialist alternative to capitalism. Unlike the governments of Europe, we do not accept the diktats of the markets. Rather than bending the knee to these billionaire blackmailers, the power to hold governments and whole peoples to ransom should be taken away from them.
Not only should the banks be nationalised under democratic workers' control and management, but a state monopoly of foreign trade should be introduced.
Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition
It was to put the case for a socialist alternative that the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) stood in the general election.
As The Socialist explained (issue 624), TUSC's excellent campaigns were not fully reflected in the votes we received.
This was partly because TUSC had not had time to establish a national profile but also, as we expected, because many workers who agreed with us felt that they had no choice but to vote for New Labour in order to try to stop the Tories.
This did not represent support for New Labour, which, unlike the Labour Party of the past, is a capitalist party, but rather the hope that the cuts would be a little gentler under a New Labour government.
Ironically, Margaret Hodge, the millionaire New Labour MP for Barking, accurately described the reality when she pleaded with a voter on London TV, "just hold your nose and vote for me"; in that case to stop both the BNP and the Tories.
In fact, although New Labour said that it would not fully wield the axe this year, there would have been no fundamental difference between the cuts of a New Labour government and those of the current coalition.
As Alistair Darling explained, New Labour's cuts would have been "deeper and tougher than those of Thatcher".
Cuts "Deeper and tougher than those of Thatcher" – New Labour
Since the election, some have argued that there is a possibility of shifting New Labour back to the left now that it is out of power.
We do not think this is on the agenda. After the election, a trickle of people joining the Labour Party has been reported, about 12 per constituency, partly disillusioned Lib Dems.
However, to stand a chance of reclaiming capitalist New Labour for the working class it would take a mass influx into the party – of trade unionists and young people – determined to rebuild the democratic structures which have long been destroyed.
To put it mildly, this has not been the experience of the other ex-social democratic parties in Europe, which have not altered their capitalist character when out of power and have largely remained empty shells.
What is more, new left formations – in particular Syriza in Greece – have come into being while the ex-workers' parties have been out of power.
TUSC represents an important preparatory step towards such a formation – which could come into being very quickly under the impact of the stormy events that are coming.
In response to our calls for a new mass workers' party, Len McCluskey, general secretary candidate for Unite the union, has said that Unite would launch a major campaign to reclaim the Labour Party under his leadership.
We think this is a mistaken strategy. We argue for Unite to stop funding New Labour and to begin to build a new party.
Nonetheless, a serious campaign to reclaim New Labour by affiliated trade unions would be a huge step forward on the current policy of the majority of the union leaders of clinging to the coat-tails of the Brownites and the Blairites.
A serious campaign would have to demand that Labour adopts a socialist programme. Key demands would include the repeal of all the anti-trade union laws and opposition to all cuts in public services, not just in words but in action.
Up and down the country Labour councils are going to be implementing the government's massive cuts in public spending 'under protest'.
Take the Liverpool road
It would be necessary to demand that they 'take the Liverpool road' and, following the example of Liverpool city council in the 1980s, refuse to implement cuts, mobilising the workforce and population in a mass campaign in their support.
Such a campaign of defiance could quickly bring down the Tory/Liberal government.
It would also be necessary to demand that the pro-capitalist and pro-war Blairites and Brownites be expelled from the party.
Linked to this would be the rebuilding of democracy within the Labour Party, which is currently non-existent at national level.
The trade unions, the main funders of New Labour, no longer even have the right to move motions at the toothless annual conference.
We do not think that a campaign to reclaim New Labour could succeed. However, were it to do so we would turn towards such a development. Equally, if we are proved correct, the affiliated trade unions would need to draw the conclusion that New Labour could not be reclaimed and take the road of building a new mass party of the working class.
The first issue which will test the strength of the left in New Labour is the debate over its next leader.
Heir to Blair
The character of New Labour is summed up by David Miliband, the current favourite to take the leadership.
Seumas Milne described him accurately (Guardian, 13 May 2010): "The heir to Blair who voted to invade Iraq, outhawked the Bush administration during the 2008 Georgia crisis and has continued to hanker after the marketisation of public services."
The two Eds – Miliband and Balls – are no better. There are no political differences between these candidates. Were they in power the policies that they would be implementing would be almost indistinguishable from those of the Tory/Lib Dem coalition.
However, Socialist Campaign Group MP, John McDonnell, has indicated he will stand again. Last time he could not get the 48 MPs required to even get on the ballot paper, demonstrating the weakness of the Labour left.
This time the threshold is lower, at 33 MPs, but there are now only 18 Labour Representation Committee-backed MPs in parliament.
McDonnell is almost certain to be the only candidate that stands in defence of workers' interests. Therefore, as Socialist Party members will argue, all affiliated trade unions, if they are serious about fighting to reclaim New Labour, should mandate their sponsored MPs to back him.
The general election campaign was the worst in living memory. Nonetheless, it marked an important turning point in Britain's history. Cameron and Clegg have not created a 'new' kind of politics. Their coalition is one more government for the billionaires and the bankers – but the profound crisis of the capitalist profit system means that it will be a more brutal, vicious, anti-working class government than anything we have seen in our lifetimes.
As in Greece, Spain and other countries the working class will respond with mass resistance. We will have opportunities to build mass support for socialism, as the only real alternative to the appalling brutality of the market.

South Africa wins the World Cup ... of inequality
Cutting back on cutting back greenhouse gas emissions
ACCORDING TO the headlines, Britain is on course to a green future based on renewable energy. The National Grid, which organises electricity distribution, has just produced a report claiming that 15% of the country's energy will be generated by renewable sources by 2020. At the same time, the renewable sector is expanding currently by 25-30% per year internationally and some leading companies in wind energy have announced new investment recently in the UK. For example, GE, Siemens and Gamesa say they are going to invest £300 million in the next three to four years. So, should we stop worrying about global warming since everything seems to be moving in the right direction?
Youth revolt shakes political elite in Spain
The movement of May 15 in Spain has shaken the political elite to its core. Leaders and candidates of the main capitalist parties, PSOE and the PP are at a loss as to what to say. The media at first patronised the young people who occupied Puerta de Sol last week, labelling them the usual anti-capitalist suspects. Even as late as last Wednesday the Spanish press was in denial about the unfolding situation. Matías Prats, a leading newsreader raised his eyebrows when he read out the headlines on the 'Spanish Revolution' from the foreign press as if to say, 'what do they know?'
Draft Budget "nightmare for working class"
East Belfast Socialist Party representative Tommy Black today hit out at the draft budget agreed by the Assembly Executive.
South Yorkshire firefighters forced to strike again
South Yorkshire Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has called a strike for 24/25 January and another from 27 January to 4 February. This is against bullying management's threat once again to sack firefighters if they don't agree to detrimental and imposed shift changes.
Fire chiefs, backed by the Labour-controlled Fire Authority, have been trying to force through 12 hour shifts for 18 months.
The Socialist Party is an anti-sectarian party which fights for the interests of the 99% – the working class, young people and the oppressed – against the super-rich and their political representatives. We oppose the capitalist system which breeds poverty, inequality, war and environmental destruction. We stand for a socialist future, where society's wealth and resources are taken into public ownership and used in a planned and democratic way to meet the needs of all.

Prices are dirt-cheap and service is top-notch at plant sale
From seed to sales, Kamiak life skills students show off their green thumbs and hone their pitches.

MUKILTEO — The semester starts with students getting their hands dirty and ends with them seeing green.
Green stuff to eat and to spend.
It's a horticultural internship of sorts for 17 students in Georgia McClaskey's third-period Functional Life Academics class at Kamiak High School.
The life skills students put on an annual two-week spring sale with hundreds of plants. But it isn't about making money. It's about making a resume. And sharing the results of their hard work.
"You know how we grew the plants? From seeds," freshman Sophia Albright said. "I helped with them all."
Sophia knows all the sprouts by name.
"Sweet bell pepper. Roma tomatoes. Jack o' lanterns, jalapeno, chives, squash, sage and basil," she said on a tour of the greenhouse goods.
Even those plants needing a little more TLC are given a second chance to find a home.

"There's a clearance rack," Sophia said.
McClaskey's students run every aspect of the sale, from custodian to CEO.
Prices are dirt-cheap — 25 cents to $2. Customer service is top-notch.
Students are personal shopping concierges. Holding a clipboard, they escort customers through the aisles and select the best looking plants. They calculate cost and count out the change.
Not only that, they answer questions and advise.
Sophomore Myron Swimmer is an expert on a garden variety of plants.
Pumpkins need a lot of space, he warns.
The cosmos get pretty enough to eat. "When they bloom out, they're edible," he said.

As for the jalapeños, he advises caution. "They're pretty hot. I've tried them before."
Want to know about basil?
Just ask freshman Alana Escobar.
"It smells good," she said. "And you can put it on spaghetti."
Alana praised her fellow students for the bounty of plants.
"Everybody works as a team," she said. "It's fun."
The class also does service projects, such as landscaping the "K" in front of the school with seasonal plants. This includes pulling weeds. It's all part of the internship.
In McClaskey's multi-grade classroom, students also get specialized instruction in academics and vocational areas.
"We focus on functional life skills that are going to prepare them for employment and future independent living situations," the teacher said. "So we do a lot with money and daily living skills and cooking and things that prepare them to be an active member of Mukilteo."

After graduation, many students go to the school district's Community Based Transition Center program for ages 18 to 21.
At Kamiak, students join others for electives. Most are in the unified sports that has teams comprised of students with and without disabilities to compete side-by-side in school events and athletic competitions.
"It creates more of an inclusive environment," McClaskey said.
The plant sale is held during lunch hours so all Kamiak students can shop. The sale is open to the public. Every year it draws more people.
This year's sale, which ended this week, raised a record $2,200.
"It allows this program to be sustainable. We are able to buy the dirt and all the supplies," she said. "We use it for extracurriculars to get our students out in the community."
For Myron, that's a bonus.
"I really want to take that field trip," he said. "Last year we went to Seattle Pacific Science Center and it was so fun."
Some funds also go toward a weekly meal the students cook.
"They plan their meals and figure out what they need to buy," McClaskey said. "We've made quesadillas and chili. Things they can take home and do on their own."
Some of the plants are used in the meals. So far, the cosmos have not been on the menu.

Caroline Bookbinder: EReaders: Still No.
What a difference a year makes! I remember at a book club meeting last summer, our one Kindle-owner passed her Kindle around, showing it to everyone. At our most recent meeting, I was the only person without one. Even the one woman who had checked the book out of the library owns a Nook (not sure why). They were pretty evenly split with 2 Nooks, 2 Kindles, and 1 iPad. They discussed advantages and disadvantages of Nook vs. Kindle, backlit vs. eInk, whether the backlit ones keep their husbands awake at night (verdict: the husbands complain but are asleep within seconds), and how to change the screensaver image. Meanwhile, I admired my book jacket. In fact, everyone did. My book kept getting picked up and cooed over and passed around. While they seemed amused by my quaintness, they also missed not seeing the cover fully (sure, there's an image of the color but you can't see the spot gloss and the spots of gold and the raised lettering), they laughed over never knowing what page they're on, and one woman mentioned she never can keep rack of authors' names anymore, since she doesn't look at the book cover but once, instead of daily for several days like you do with a print book.
Now I'm not known as a Luddite and I am known as one of the better-read and more knowledgeable in our book club about the book industry, so more than once surprise has been uttered that I don't have and don't intend to get an eReader, especially now that I have a long overseas trip coming up this summer. But I don't. And the simplest answer is just, I don't want one. Beyond that, my second reason is pretty basic: I have over 250 books in my house that I haven't read yet. And unlike with my iPod and CDs, I can't load them onto an eReader. So I need to get through those books first. Which is never really going to happen since I keep adding to my bookshelves. But that is the most practical reason.
Also I don't feel like shelling out hundreds for a gadget that isn't even a book itself (I'd have to pay more for actual books) and could easily be lost, stolen, or broken. And how do you decide what to read next? I like to stand in front of my bookcases and pull books out and read the backs of them and make a little pile and then put most of them back. Can you make a virtual "pile" of your online TBR books? Also, what would I do with all my bookcases? I think books are a wonderful addition to any decor. Not to mention sometimes an invaluable hint to a new friend's personality (ah, the boyfriends who I thought much differently of after perusing their books!) They work in bright sunlight, with low lights at night, don't run out of charge, and I can loan them out or give them away.
So for my long overseas trip I am going with the same tactic I did for my cruise last year, and I have been accumulating thick mass markets from the used bookstore. I will be happy abandoning these books in airports and elsewhere abroad, I didn't pay much for them in the first place, and most of them look like fun.
Oh, and here's one more thing you can do with a book than you can't with an eReader: a friend and her husband were flying to Scotland and about a half-hour into the flight, she decided she detested her book and just couldn't go on (this is one reason why I always bring way more books than I could possibly read.) The in-flight magazine wasn't going to keep her entertained for long. The movies didn't interest her. She wasn't about to just stare at the seatback like Puddy. She asked her husband if he'd trade books but he'd heard her report on her book and declined. She asked him to just give his book to her, but he'd be left in the same predicament so refused. Then came the brilliant idea! He was about half-way through his book and it was a mass market (this wouldn't work with a hardcover and wouldn't work easily with the larger trade paperbacks). So he ripped it in half, and gave her the first half while he kept reading the second half. Problem solved!
Good call! I succumbed to the lure of the Kindle, thinking it might help me curb my rampant book-buying, but I HATED IT. I didn't know whereabouts in the book I was, and I found I wasn't remembering things as well because I couldn't easily flick around, so I had no sense of the book as an object. (You know, I remember that X happened about halfway through the book, on a left hand page, a few lines down...) The Machine is now deregistered and I've happily returned to my lovely paper books, with renewed enthusiasm and a lot of affection!
I still don't have an eReader either, and if I did get one I still wouldn't give up regular books. The eReaders do seem convenient in a lot of ways (I mean, how many trees do we cut down to print all those books?), but you make some good points about not having the constant reminder of who the author is, and Ellie makes a great point about not being able to flip back for a reminder. I'll wait until I get one before I come to a verdict, I guess.
Well, I do have a Nook since my husband gave me one for some occasion last year (my birthday I think). Ask me how many times I've turned it on? Now ask me how many books I have on it? And how many have I read on it? I can't be too negative about it because it was a gift from the heart from him but it definitely wasn't something I'd have chosen myself and it won't see much (any?) use because I just don't care for extended e-reading.
Every Christmas and birthday I am so scared I'm going to get one from a well-meaning but misguided loved one! If it's a Nook I'd probably keep it but if it's a Kindle I'd have to return it.
I only really bought my Kindle for review copies that I got in ebook format. I don't buy much for it and if I love a book I read in electronic format, I'll buy a paper copy (unless it's really ugly looking).
I agree, I forget author names and struggle with not being able to see where I am, but if the books good, it'#s good however I read it. Sometimes ebook is the only option and I'd rather have it on an eInk screen than backlit on my laptop any day.


Any pilot will tell you that the most exciting part of the trip is the first two minutes, and the last 10. Departure and approach are where the action is…checklists, planning, navigation, and split-second reactions and decisions are the grist for flying stories. The stuff in between? Well, pilots say that flying is defined as hours of boredom, interrupted by moments of stark terror. Much the same can be said of an ocean voyage, only more so.
On long passages, we post a lookout of the watch, and more frequently, just set the radar on alert with a 10 or 15-mile guard band. Hours between contacts can melt into days on some passages. Then it's time to arrive, and everything starts to happen in a hurry. Unfamiliar shores, new charts that are still hopelessly out of date, traffic, and currents all stand between us and the dock. Navigation and operation workloads get heavier, and mistakes more frequent.
New navigation systems are becoming available that will provide safer and less stressful near-shore operation. These systems rely on what the military calls "sensor fusion" — that combines relevant information into a few easy-to-understand displays. Once the province of Navy and commercial ship wheelhouses, these new 3D systems are now small enough, inexpensive enough, and efficient enough to warrant consideration for many pleasure yachts.
The newest of these super-navigator systems is the TimeZero 3D Trident system from Nobeltec. Using a large high-resolution color display, the TimeZero system employs conventional computers running Microsoft Windows to provide a seamless zoom capability and layering of several information types. By interfacing standard data protocols such as CANbus, NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and Furuno NavNet to the computer, TimeZero provides raster and vector chartplotter functions, but also allows the fusion of high resolution satellite imagery, tides and tidal currents, AIS, GRIB weather, weather and ocean data (such as temperatures, sky conditions, waves, pressure, sea state, etc.) and real-time radar. The system also has display modes for engine data, video, and other inputs. The result is a navigation system providing an unprecedented level of situational awareness.
Because the TimeZero system is based on COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) hardware and software, a full system is both less expensive and more customizable than prior purpose-built systems. By selecting components appropriate to the mission and environment, pleasure sailors and commercial mariners will be able to tailor a system precisely. For instance, the system may be installed on a rugged laptop computer at the navigation station, with a sunlight-readable and waterproof repeater screen at the helm. It may also be the basis of a full "glass panel" installation on the bridge of larger vessels.
For those looking for a "turnkey" system that implements the TimeZero software, the Furuno NavNet 3D is based on a series of integrated display/processor instruments (MFD 12 and MFD 8) or a "black box" processor (vx2BB) and a choice of sunlight-readable flat panel displays (MU-150HD 15" LCD or MU-190HD 19" LCD). The NavNet 3D system presents information by combining relevant displays to increase comprehension. Other Furuno subsystems such as the BBWX2 Sirius satellite weather receiver permits NOWRad nationwide live weather radar imagery; high-resolution sea surface temperatures; marine forecasts; storm tracking; buoy reports; wave height forecasts and more to display atop the chart. An added bonus is the system's ability to stream Sirius Radio audio programming, as well.
The WS200 Ultrasonic Weather Station delivers GPS position and onboard weather data to the NavNet 3D system that displays apparent and true wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, temperature, wind chill, pitch and roll, and rate of turn. The NavNet 3D system family includes Furuno's radar systems, AIS for collision avoidance, fish finders, a high-accuracy satellite compass using three GPS receiver antennas, smart sensors for depth, water temperature, and speed through the water, an autopilot, and several other specialized network elements and displays.
Other manufacturers are also providing similar functions in new lines of navigation equipment. For example, Raymarine provides its E-Series Widescreen displays that integrate many of the same information streams as TimeZero in a touch-screen display. Using the SeaTalkNG, NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 protocols for communication, E-Series systems quickly switch modes to display charts, weather, radar, video, infrared night vision camera feed, engine data, communications radio control, and a unique LifeTag wireless man-overboard transponder. The E-Series system uses the Navionics Platinum chart engine for 3D display of navigation charts aligned with satellite photos, depth profiles, and overlay tables of tides and currents.
Fugawi also provides a Windows-based 3D software system, the Fugawi Marine ENC Ver. 4.5. This system projects both satellite and marine chart information into a perspective view, similar to other 3D systems discussed here, as well as other 2D chart and satellite photo views. It is not, however, a fully integrated glass panel navigation solution, but is a sophisticated chartplotter and planning tool. Fugawi does sell other software packages that display AIS, NMEA data, and export waypoints to chartplotters and other GPS equipment.
One question must be considered by any mariner contemplating installation of this new breed of navigation system: Does the technology permit the navigator to make better decisions? In some cases, particularly in approaching an unfamiliar port, or in bad weather or heavy traffic situations, the clear answer is "yes." This type of sensor fusion can reduce confusion and provide a clearer picture for the navigator at one glance. Some systems, however, present clearer fusions of the information than others, and some hardware and software may be simpler to operate under pressure or in poor conditions. The ultimate decision, however, may depend on simpler issues of space at the helm, power consumption and dollar budget for fancy electronics.
One thing is certain, though: the romantic days of "… all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by…" are in most ways, long past. Now we seem to demand that our ship have GPS, AIS, satellite photos, radar, and side-scan sonar. The glare from all those digital displays has obscured the stars, and our sextant lays gathering dust at the bottom of the hanging locker.

"Hartnett deftly interweaves dark, eerie passages with episodes of domestic realism - either of the banalities of English village life, or of juvenile squabbles at Heron Hall.The result is a sustained ventriloquism. Remarkably, Hartnett has reproduced the tone and voice of a girls' own adventure story from the 1940s and has channelled it through the emotional consciousness of an upper-class pre-teen who's a bit of a ninny. And yet, it works. The Children of the King is a wise and elegant exploration of growing up. If that's ''mere'' children's lit, then I want more." (Jose Borghino, Sydney Morning Herald)

Oftentimes after their hospital stay or outpatient care, many seniors return to their homes alone where they again confront the same risks. Being alone during a period of extreme temperatures, can be very risky and dangerous for the elderly. An elderly person may not even realize he/she is overheated or dehydrated due to the effects of some medications, as well as for those suffering from dementia or diabetes, which can reduce sensation.
A Private Duty Nurse can, therefore, make all the difference in ensuring that your loved one stays safe, comfortable and hydrated in order to prevent the risk of heat-related illnesses. A skilled, experienced and compassionate caregiver will always prove to be invaluable and offers the highest level of security and peace of mind.
Stays in the coolest part of the house, keeps the air conditioner on and avoids activity.
Eats lightly and drinks plenty of fluids.
Uses hand-held fans and misters.
Cools down quickly if overheated using wet washcloths, icepacks or even frozen vegetables rubbed over his/her face, neck and wrists.

Putin calls on Netanyahu amid struggle for Syria
The Russian leader's trip follows a visit to Bashar al-Assad in Damascus
ByShaiel Ben-Ephraim
Israel next week will host Russian President Vladimir Putin, fresh off his visit to Damascus, a visit that could bridge or expose growing gaps between the two states in the Middle East.
The January 3 assassination of Qassem Soleimani and fresh anti-government protests in Iran have persuaded the top brass in the Israeli military to amp up the pressure on the Iranian presence in neighboring Syria.
They consider the assassination a game-changer that has placed the Iranians on the back foot and has put their presence in the Levant into disarray. According to sources in the Defense Ministry, new minister Naftali Bennet is determined to throw Iran out of Syria altogether.
In the wake of the assassination, Putin headed to Damascus to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The Russians have decried the killing of a senior Iranian official as a violation of sovereignty, but also stand to benefit from the elimination of the powerful general as a post-ISIS landscape takes shape.
When Putin arrives in Israel, talks will undoubtedly center on the new strategy for Syria, with the case of a jailed Israeli in a Russian prison serving as a litmus test of relations.
In recent years, Israel has been trying to prevent Iran from establishing itself in Syria. Israel cannot risk a ground invasion of the country and airpower rarely achieves strategic goals on its own.
Diplomacy with Putin is therefore critical, as only Russia and its ally Syria can curtail the influence of Tehran on the Israeli border. Without it, Israel could face its nightmare scenario: a strong and deeply entrenched Iranian presence in Syria protected by a robust Russian strategic umbrella.
In order to facilitate Putin's visit, the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday released two Syrian prisoners. The talks are expected to be tough as Putin is likely unhappy with Israeli plans for escalation and may protest the attack on the Syrian T4 airbase which took place on Tuesday.
Removing Syria sanctions
Over the course of the eight-year Syrian civil war, Israel has conducted more than 1,000 sorties, which it says have targeted Iranian military bases or arms shipments destined for Hezbollah.
Moscow has tolerated Israeli security concerns and accepted that the sovereignty of its ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, would be violated. In return, it has expected diplomatic support for its ambitions to stabilize the Assad government.
An official in the Israeli Foreign Ministry told Asia Times that Putin expects Israeli assistance in removing Western sanctions on the Assad regime, something Israel has thus far been unable to provide.
"Russia overestimates our influence on the policies of the US and the EU," the source said.
The matter has taken on an even greater significance in recent months, as the Russian strategy has shifted from defeating rebel groups to the stabilization of the Assad regime throughout the country.
Following a series of Israeli bombings in the Damascus area in November, the Kremlin complained the operation was "counteracting our efforts to control the situation" and had "increased tensions and the potential for conflict around Syria."
To leave no doubt of the seriousness with which Russia regards continuing Israeli attacks, the statement added that "these events have caused great concern and indignation in Moscow."
In an effort to curtail the freedom of operation enjoyed by the Israeli Air Force, the Russian Foreign Ministry revealed that "Israeli fighter jets reportedly crossed Iraqi and Jordanian airspace" in order to carry out some of the attacks.
When that did not curtail Israeli attacks, the response of the Kremlin escalated. According to releases in the Russian and Israeli media, two Russian Su-35 fighter jets were sent to intercept a planned Israeli strike in December on the T-4 airbase in southern Syria, forcing the Israeli pilots to return to base.
On Tuesday, Syrian state media reported that Israel had finally carried out its desired attack on the T-4 base.
Campaigning with Putin
Netanyahu's refusal to name an ambassador to Moscow during this fraught period has led to criticism at home.
Speculation is rife the post is being held vacant in order to be used to reward a major supporter in his upcoming election campaign, even as he runs on his relationship with Russia.
During an election campaign this summer, a billboard visible to thousands of Israelis commuting daily on Tel Aviv's Ayalon highway showed Netanyahu together with Vladimir Putin.
In an effort to attract Russian speaking voters and highlight the prime minister's diplomatic acumen, it showed the two leaders shaking hands, along with the slogan "Netanyahu: In a league of his own."
The prime minister recently cemented his role as leader of the Likud party, but faces a tougher challenge in fresh general elections scheduled for March, where the Likud is behind rival Blue and White in the polls.
With American influence in the Middle East waning considerably, relations with the increasingly influential Russians take on a supreme strategic significance. For Netanyahu, now is a critical time to reassure voters that ties with the Kremlin will endure under his watch.
The jailing of an Israeli citizen in Russia now puts that relationship to the test.
Israeli jailed in Russia
In October this year Naama Issachar, a 26-year-old Israeli citizen, was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for carrying 9.5 grams of marijuana while on a stopover in Moscow between India and Israel. While she also possessed American nationality, the arrest and sentence appeared to be a symptom of a deteriorating Israeli-Russian bilateral relationship.
The 26-year-old was initially charged with cannabis possession, but the charge was upgraded in May to smuggling drugs into Russia in correlation with the Israeli decision to extradite a Russian hacker to the United States.
There is little doubt that the dogged Russian pursuit of a severe penalty in this minor case has been driven by geopolitical concerns rather than judicial ones. As if to prove this, it was reported earlier in the week that 46 Israeli citizens were detained for questioning at Domodedovo airport, some for several days.
Netanyahu has discussed the Issachar case with Putin more than once. In December, he vowed that "I will bring Naama Issachar home."
The denial of her appeal in a country not known for the independence of its judiciary could thus be seen as a slap in the face for the prime minister as he stands for re-election. Her release could signal a breakthrough.

Q: Query performance issue with multiple left joins In mysql v8.x I have a table with about 7000 records in it. I'm trying to create a single query combines two subqueries of the same table.
I thought I could achieve this by left joining on the subqueries and then matching on any records that have values for these as shown in the example below (note: this effect happens when my_table has just just an id column).
The query seems to work quickly when the subqueries return records but not when the subqueries return empty (which I've recreated in the example below with WHERE FALSE). When this happens there is a situation where executing these queries on their own that each take a millisecond or so, takes 12 seconds.
My understanding is that these these joins should return the same number of rows as the source table and as such there shouldn't be such a big difference. I'm interested in understanding how the join works in this type of case and why it's producing such a difference in execution time.
SELECT my_table.* FROM accessory_requests
  LEFT JOIN
     ( SELECT my_table.id
         FROM my_table
        WHERE FALSE
     ) as join1
    ON join1.id = my_table.id
  LEFT JOIN
     ( SELECT my_table.id
         FROM my_table
        WHERE FALSE
     ) as join2
    ON join2.id = my_table.id
 WHERE join1.id IS NOT NULL OR join2.id IS NOT NULL;

A: Your query is all messed up and it is not really clear what you are trying to do.
However, I can comment on your performance issues.  MySQL has a tendency to materialize subqueries in the FROM clause.  That means that a new copy of the table is created.  In doing so, indexes are lost on the table.  So, eliminate the subqueries in the FROM clause.
If you ask another question with sample data, desired results, and a decent explanation, then it might be possible to help with a more efficient form of the query.  I suspect you just want not exists, but that is a rather large leap from this question.

A:
combines two subqueries of the same table.

What do you mean?
If you want to take the rows from each subquery, then simply do
( SELECT ... )  -- what you are calling the first subquery
UNION
( SELECT ... )  -- 2nd

Also,
LEFT JOIN  ( ... ) as join1  ON ...
 WHERE join1.id IS NOT NULL;

is probably the same as simply
JOIN  ( ... ) as join1  ON ...

If by "combining" you mean to have multiple columns, then see the tag [pivot-table].

The Baby Genius Sing-Along Jukebox lets kids select songs and listen, dance or sing along to the songs that they pick. There's a pretend microphone for karaoke style singing and plastic coins to insert. But how well does it entertain a child? Read on to see what we think.
Most kids like music and the Baby Genius Jukebox is a great way to have them feel in control of what they listen to. They can pick from 40 popular children's songs and there's a voice control for the titles so they don't need to be able to read in order to choose the songs.
There's a toy microphone that they can hold to sing along with. The microphone is just for play, it doesn't connect up to anything, but it's enough to help kids pretend they are a singer on a real stage. At the same time, the jukebox has flashing lights that light up in the rhythm of the song.
You also get a DVD with 9 more songs that come with animation videos. Again kids can sing along or just listen. This is a great little extra that adds value to the toy.
The Baby Genius Be-A-Star Sing-Along Jukebox seems well constructed with plenty of the bright colors, lights and sounds that appeal to young children. The sound is clear and realistic. It makes an excellent karaoke machine for kids and they'll enjoy dancing to the songs too.
We checked out some reviews online and this is clearly a big hit with kids. It works right out of the box with batteries included so they don't have to wait but can start playing the songs as soon as they open their gift. This is great for birthdays and Christmas – it will give them something to play with while you try to construct the rest of their toys!
The only thing we don't like is the name "Baby Genius" which makes it sound like it's for babies, and it's really not. It's rated for kids age 3 and upward for safety reasons, and a child would need to be at least 2 years old to operate it independently. I guess you could buy it for a baby as long as you keep it out of reach and operate it yourself, but keep in mind the small parts are not safe for under threes.
All in all, this is a great toy that will entertain toddlers and up to about 6 or 7 years old with no trouble. Any child who likes music and singing – which is almost all little kids – will surely love to receive this as a gift.


The Department of Communication urges its students to complete at least one internship during their undergraduate careers. 64 percent of our recent graduating seniors report participating in an internship experience. Internships allow you to try out a new field, gain valuable skills, network with professionals in your field, and apply what you are learning in the classroom to real life settings. Communication majors have interned in such diverse fields as media programming, public interest research, TV news, advertising, public relations, education, corporate management, sales, government, newspapers, magazines, non-profits, and film production.
Please note that internships do not count for Communication credit, but the department highly encourages students to pursue them for elective credit.
You'll work this out with your Faculty Sponsor (see below). Typically, an internship requires that you keep a journal "on the job," which you'll use to write a paper that summarizes your experiences, evaluates them, and relates them to one or more courses that you have already taken or will take immediately after the internship.
You can do an internship (UMass 298Y: Practicum) in any session: fall, spring, winter (January), or summer. During summer or winter sessions, you pay for the credits through Continuing & Professional Education.
To be eligible for an internship, you must have completed at least 45 credits and have a minimum GPA of 2.0.
You can earn as few as 1 to as many as 18, depending on the hours you put into the internship each week. One credit for every 40 hours of work is typical. These credits are graded as pass/fail and are treated as elective—they do not fulfill any department requirements (there are no exceptions to this rule). No more than 18 credits can be applied toward graduation, regardless of how many internships you complete.
In order to receive academic credit for an internship, you must work with a Faculty Sponsor and the Field Experience Office, the unit within Career Services (511 Goodell) that oversees internships and co-ops. For help identifying a person who might serve as your Faculty Sponsor, please read the "Find a Faculty Sponsor" section, below.
The Department offers the Elaine E. Nord Internship Fund for Creative Communications, a funding opportunity for Comm students planning to do summer internships. In addition, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences offers several scholarships that support students doing internships. Please check the Department's Scholarships page for more information about these funding opportunities and their deadlines.
The Career Services Office maintains several introductory pages on its website, including The Credited Internship Process, Finding Internship and Co-op Opportunities, and Applying for Internships and Co-ops. Please read these pages carefully, as they should answer many general questions you might have about internships.
You'll learn many things at one of these essential meetings, including how to search for internship opportunities and register for your internship credits via the UMass Amherst CareerConnect portal/database. To discover the days, times, and locations of these frequent meetings, call the Field Experience Office at 413-545-2224, send an inquiry to internships@umass.edu, or check the Career Services Calendar.
Securing a Faculty Sponsor is your responsibility. We recommend that you approach faculty whom you know from your classes or activities. Ask at the Department of Communication's main office (N308 ILC, 413-545-1311) for their contact information and office hours, or find this information yourself by clicking here. You and your Faculty Sponsor will decide on the nature, requirements, and due date of the internship-related academic project that you'll be preparing for him/her.
Once you have been offered an internship placement and have defined the academic project with your Faculty Sponsor, you'll need to complete the registration process by logging on to UMass Amherst CareerConnect and filling out an Academic Contract and any other forms as required.

Q: oAuth2 SSO without Cookie We're having a native iOS and Android app that has a custom login form to authenticate a user directly via an authentication endpoint of an oAuth2 enabled indentity provider (the app sends the user credentials via HTTP request to the identity provider and gets a JWT as response).
The app does not have the possibility to open a browser with callback url or an in-app-browser to open the login form of the identity provider directly - so there is no possibility to set a cookie for SSO.
The app does sometimes redirect the user to other services (in the web browser) that are using the same identitiy provider. Until now, the user is forced to enter his credentials again to signin.
We're now looking for a (secure) way to implement SSO with the app, without the need of using a cookie enabled (in-app-)browser for the app login.
A solution we thought about:

*

*sending a valid access_token to the identity provider together with the target url of the service

*the identity provider validates the token and the target url

*the identity provider authenticates the user after successfull validation and redirects the user to the service

Can this be considered as a secure solution? Is there a standardized way we don't know about to do something like that?

Rift is a surreal adventure game that explores the boundaries of space, time and the imagination. The player takes the role of a young boy who awakes to find the fabric of reality collapsing outside his bedroom. The boy enters a surreal world known as the Rift-Wild where our reality collides with worlds from parallel dimensions in a fluctuating cataclysm of torn space-time.
The original Rift prototype was developed in a SCAD Studio class of 8 students (with help from friends) in under 10 weeks using the Unreal Development Kit. As the lead designer my responsibility was to guide all aspects of the creation of this project, and worked with a very talented group of artists to produce it.
Character by Leng Lor
A young boy is awoken by a terrible sound in the middle of the night. He is about to reach for his stuffed bunny Captain Cuddlesworth when a small hole opens up in space-time and the bunny disappears. Once his curiosity overtakes his fear, the boy grabs a flashlight and leaves his bedroom to find reality beginning to collapse around him.
Character by Ben Soderstrom
Simultaneously, in another dimension of space-time, a brilliant scientist tests a hair-brained theory. He enters equations into a control panel and a large device begins to charge. One cataclysmic tear in reality later, the two attempt to work together to fix the device and repair reality.
AETHER AND THE DEVICE
Our scientist had discovered a dimension of pure energy known as the Aether. A device was constructed to transmit energy across dimensions as a source of unlimited power. Such large amounts of energy traveling across dimensions caused the fabric of space-time to distort and tear, resulting in a rift in the fabric of reality.

Using Arduino and Processing, 4 players control fish which must eat to stay alive. As a fish eats one of 3 food items, it will grow and change depending on the type. Some food items make fish wider, some make them longer and a third gives them spikes with which they can cause damage to other fish.
Motion Fighter is an interactive game installation that utilizes a webcam and Processing.
Two players face each other, separated by a cloth on which the image is projected. The webcam, placed to the side of the screen, detects the motion of each player and creates projectiles from areas of high enough motion.
Players must then attempt to dodge their opponent's projectiles.
Horror from the Other Perspective
Nightmare puts the player in the role of a monster living under a kid's bed. The player must scare humans to gain power which he can use to evolve his monster and customize its look and abilities. Depending on the abilities a player chooses for their monster, gameplay can range from stealth tactics to fast paced combat and challenges have multiple solutions to accommodate many different ability types.
In the single player game, the player will meet interesting and creepy characters, and the ones he chooses to befriend or betray affect the progression of the story. The first character the player encounters is Spider Bear, a monstrous spider which has made a home in the hollowed out body of a teddy bear and lives in the attic. It is the player's guide through the beginning of the game, and may even accompany the player later on in the game. Other monsters the player may meet include the Chupacabra, nordic trolls and the godfather of all monsters, the Boogeyman.
The multiplayer game is similar to hide and seek, with one person playing a monster trying to find and capture the 3 or 4 other human players. The humans must hide from the monster while completing tasks necessary to escape the area. Each round a new player takes the monster role and can use their customized monster character from the single player game.
Spider Bear
Eerie Sound
The user produces an eerie sound that alarms anyone within ear shot. The user can choose from several sounds, but they all have the same effect.
Alluring Whisper
The user projects an alluring whisper into the head of a subject that will cause them to wander towards him. This ability does not scare the subject, but can be useful in removing a subject from a large group.
This allows the character to climb on walls and ceilings, either in a spider-like fashion, or "upright," walking horizontally across the wall.

I think that the only way that humanity can transcend its continuing decay of equitable wealth distribution is by endorsing open source economic development. I feel strongly that the last word in economics is open source economics (while addressing issues raised in Radical Abundance). It is called sharing - an old message that no empire has been able to achieve to date. To put it another way - any 'transformative' effort or product that claims to make a fundamental change towards a better world is fooling itself if it is not addressing the issue of wealth distribution - or unless it is promoting Distributive Economics.
I founded Open Source Ecology.
Yes, we plan on creating a 2 year immersion learning program for Integrated Humans. It should be updated to include augmented reality production training for relocalization.
Yes, economic stability and autonomy are some of the main goals of the GVCS.
Yes, I am currently using the tractor, compressed earth brick press, 150 ton hole puncher, heavy duty drill press, and modular power unit in construction, agriculture, fabrication, and utility duties.
Yes. We are already producing tractors, soil pulverizers, and CEB presses for outside markets.
Yes, in terms of new prototypes being built towards product release of the remaining GVCS technologies.
For me personally, I'd like to dogfood the GVCS first in the first world by building the world's first, authentic, complete, resilient community. I believe in fixing my own backyard first, as I do not know enough about the practical concerns in remote corners of the world.
Yes, I would like to see local manufacturing return to the USA.
Absolutely. I look forward to a burrito, where I combined the grains and beans, made flour in an open source flour mill, made cheese from the dairy, hayed for the animals, and made salsa from the garden - all in my own community.
I left the academic world years ago in search of meaning.
Yes, if the 'financial investment' refers to the creation of an authentic, resource-based currency.
Yes, I believe that free enterprise can replace monopoly money. This can happen by open access to blueprints for best-practice products - which people can manufacture in their own communities via flexible fabrication. Openly-published business models can help others in enterprise startup- from growing apples to building computer apps.
Are you interested in building renewable energy production facilities based on open hardware (solar concentrator electric, wind, biomass power).
I would love to see a solar thermal concentrator electric power plant in every community, with some wind and other power sources sprinkled in between.
Yes, the biggest question in my life is whether it is truly possible to create an abundance village on the scale of 200 people and 200 acres, more or less.
By relocalization of production based on abundant, local resources.
How do you think that the GVCS can address issues of overpopulatoin?
Local economies allow for immediate resource feedbacks. If there is an immediate feedback mechanism regarding resources, then population explosions are less likely to happen. This is under the assumption that poverty is already eliminated.
If we are using local resources, we will have a motivation to preserve our local environment - as it is our own backyard.
Our team at Factor e Farm has to date built 8 prototypes and 1 full product release of the GVCS.
I am a technical writer, blogger, vlogger, and video editor for the raw footage coming out of Factor e Farm. We need assistance in video editing, blogging, forum management, wiki editing, and CRM management. We also need assistance in creating slide presentations and script for these presentations. We also need a media package and a donor relations package.
I am involved in organizational development, strategic development, public speaking, networking, and other support roles - to the point that we now need a full support team for these tasks as OSE grows.
I use Linux, and we now need a CRM platform and Forums to be set up. We are considering augmented reality instructionals for all the tools of the GVCS. We need to define a wiki policy as the numbers of contributors grow. We should eventually create a Linux adaptation specifically suited for the needs of GVCS development, with built-in libraries, graphics, databases, CAD repositories, CAM repositories, CNC controls, augmented reality software, CRM databases, local currency databases and accounting systems, 3D scanning software, and many other supporting tools for creating complete economies based on GVCS capacities.
We currently need accounting support to accompany our organizational expansion and forthcoming resource development efforts, as well as legal assistance in corporate form for fundraising. We are looking for people with experience in resource development.
We have begun notes on social contract - publishing early and often at Factor_e_Farm_Social_Contract_v1.0. We need to create a social contract for a 200/200 community (about 200 people on 200 acres).
I can prepare awesome burritos and some Indian cuisine. I can grow food and recycle all wastes.
I am a product designer, industrial process designer, but not yet an electronics designer. I am familiar with QCAD.
I am a custom fabricator, heavy equipment operator, welder, machinist, chainsaw operator, but I have not yet machined gears for hydraulic motors.
I am familiar with introductory conceptual design of power electronic converters, inverters, rectifiers, pulse width modulators, power stages, microcontrollers.
I have basic conceptual knowledge of precision drive systems.
I have basic conceptual knowledge of hot metal processing, alloying, and surface treatment.
I have hands on experience in agricultural engineering, mechanical engineering, robotics and automation, chemical engineering. I have slight awarenesss of materials science, polymer engineering, structural engineering, automotive engineering.
I am organizing a team of 100-200 people for rapid, parallel development of the GVCS, including the organizational infrastructure for funding this development over the next 2 years.
Yes, I can volunteer 70 hours per week.
I can offer custom fabricator, consulting, speaking, and design services. My hourly rate is $50 per hour.
I can build it myself.
I am the Truest of Fans.
Yes, that is an immediate goal - a functional community by 2014. The GVCS is the foundation.

On the heels of the Republican national convention, the notorious KKK leader David Duke announced his campaign for the Louisiana Senate. On his social media pages, he released a campaign poster featuring a young white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a gray tank top decorated with American flag imagery. She is beautiful and young, exuding innocence. Atop the image the text reads "fight for Western civilization" and included David Duke's website and logo. It does not appear that she consented to being on the poster.
Given that David Duke is an avowed racist running on a platform to save "Western" civilization, it didn't seem like that much of a stretch.
What I found fascinating was the range of responses. I was told I looked just like her — beautiful, blue-eyed, and white — was asked if I hated myself, accused of being a race traitor, and invited to join the movement against "white genocide." I was also told that I was just jealous: comparatively hideous thanks to my age and weight. Trolls took shots at sociology, intellectuals, and my own intelligence. I was asked if I was Jewish, accused of being so, and told to put my head in an oven. I was sent false statistics about black crime. I was also, oddly, accused of being a Nazi myself. Others, like Kate Harding, Philip Cohen, and even Leslie Jones, were roped in.
It's not news that twitter is full of trolls. It's not news that there are proud white supremacists and neo-nazis in America. It's not news that women online get told they're ugly or fat on the reg. It's not news that I'm a (proud) cat lady either, for what it's worth. But I think transparency is our best bet to get people to acknowledge the ongoing racism, antisemitism, sexism, and anti-intellectualism in our society. So, there you have it.

All you need to know about Ardalan is that he has an album named Thunderdad. I guess that's not all you need to know, but that's basically the most important part of this pick. The word "groovy" should be used in here as well. Honestly, I don't know how to write about anything other than folk music, but I can at least tell you that these beats are sassy as heck. And they're happening at Cattivo.

Q: How to add/edit project resources from within the code in C#? I want to add or edit my C# project resources from within the code. For example I have a string called myString in project resources. Now I want to change the value of this string:
MyProject.Properties.Resources.myString = "NewStringValue";

But the compiler gives an error that this property is read only. I also want to add an image by browsing the image and adding it to the project resources.
Any idea how I can do this?
Thanks in advance.
P.S: I am using Windows Form.

A: Project -> Properties -> Resources -> open the resx file -> select images. There you can see the images in your project.
You can add new images by dragging them into that area.

This code will store the chosen images and load the last stored image at startup.
You may have to make it Observable or do something to make all the PictureBoxes update their image.
public class DefaultPicture
{
    private static string settings = "picture.settings";

    private System.Drawing.Bitmap image = new Bitmap(settings);

    public Bitmap Image
    {
        get
        {
            return this.image;
        }
        set
        {
            this.image = value;
            this.image.Save(settings);
        }
    }
}

Macaulay Culkin Net Worth is $15 Million (as of 2019)
Macaulay Culkin is a child actor who America watched grow up on the big screen, literally. Born August 26, 1980, in Manhattan, he is one of the most successful childhood actors of all time. Having a string of movies that spanned a decade, he began his acting career at the young age of just four years old. His first roles were mostly stage productions, but he soon expanded into television and film roles. His big break came when most kids are more interested in watching Saturday morning cartoons, cast into the role of Kevin in Home Alone; he instantly became an international movie star. That one role led to multiple roles with John Hughes making him one of the most sought after actors on film. In the 80s, John Hughes the writer and director, turned anything he produced into gold.
Place of birth: Manhattan, New York, U.S.
Occupation: actor, musician
A string of poorly reviewed movies in the 1990s convinced Macaulay that it was time to take a break. After disappearing from the limelight for several years, he returned in 2000 to take part in Madame Melville, an onstage production in London. Switching gears, he did guest appearances in hit sitcoms such as Will & Grace. Not returning to the big screen until 2003, he tried his hand in various roles, but was not able to achieve the same following that he had in his younger years. What followed was many unsuccessful roles and appearances.
His late teens, his behavior began to show signs that he was struggling with losing fame, family, and legal issues. In interviews, Culkin made public that he had not had a wonderful family life, admitting that he was estranged from his father. Set to marry against the advice of those in his life, in 1998, at the young age of 18, he married Rachel Miner. The marriage did not last, and they subsequently divorced in 2002.
The cause of his familial fallout revolved around the money earned while he was a minor. It was supposed to be set aside, but allegedly his father used a good bit of it. His other income consists of endorsements from the likes of Covergirl and the "Fat Culkin Burger" restaurant chain. There is also a brand of Vodka that bears the Culkin name and he has a perfume named With Love From Macaulay. Fashion is a passion that not many people know of, which is why he also has a fashion line named "Macaulay Culkin Seduction".
Having enough money to not have to worry about working, he is reportedly worth $15 million. His desire to return to the entertainment industry comes, not from the need for wealth, but approval. It has not been an easy road for Culkin. Being a child actor is not an easy thing, which is why most don't fare well. Being in demand when you are young and then rejected as you grow, is not something that is easy for the ego to take. Growing up in a fishbowl forever alters a child actor's childhood and life. For now, Culkin seems to be doing fine, tempering the fame and the judgement that comes with it. Taking chances and keeping his chin up, he is still one of the highest paid actors of all time.
